New Gods of North America.

Chapter 531 Distribution
Wayne had nothing to do, so he slept until dawn.
The next day when I got up and went downstairs, I saw two blonde girls, Lina and Emma, teasing crows on the first floor.

Yawning, he found an empty table and sat down. Soon Sanders brought a plate of food over. Wayne realized something was wrong at this time: "Why did you bring Emma here too?"

"It's that fellow Damon. He asked Peter No. 2 to contact your professor recently and often sent Emma to the college for classes, more frequently than once a week before. Before leaving, Emma kept pestering me. I felt that the base camp was not very safe recently, so I brought her here to play for a few days."

"Are you delaying other people's studies?"

Wayne didn't really care. Anyway, he definitely didn't need to take advanced math classes when he was that young. Emma's current "pre-school" progress has surpassed 99% of the top students. He took a bite of the burger and was a little happy. "Parker is here too?"

"Yes. If I hadn't encountered the church's martial law and needed to check, I would have wanted to bring the slate fragment and the Death Whistle here. David Mills was merciless and almost confiscated the extraordinary materials I brought. I had to hide them in the cellar again."

The assassination case has already had preliminary results, so it seems reasonable that the church will impose martial law at this time...

The burger was chewed in his mouth. "Did you bring back extraordinary materials?"

"There were people watching our base camp last night, so we attacked them first. I left some for Damon and the others, and I brought back the rest."

I didn't expect there would be an unexpected gain.
He stuffed his breakfast into his mouth, and then asked someone to call down Inissa, who had climbed up to the roof to observe the environment. Then several partners began to check the spoils and prepare to divide them.

Those strange aboriginal masks can be considered extraordinary items, but it seems that ordinary people cannot use them. I guess they need to be used in a specific way. I will keep them for research for the time being.

The extraordinary materials are somewhat interesting. The ones that the captured little leader and his gang brought back should all belong to the natural realm - no wonder their tribe fought to the death with the Hunters Association in Windsor back then - the ones that Lina brought back are more diverse, and it seems that there are all kinds of "order", "wisdom", "life" and "death".

Wayne is currently in an inexplicable "upgrade stuck" stage, and Inissa has no demand for extraordinary materials now.
However, the partners still picked a piece each, and the rest were distributed to the agents involved in the mission according to their corresponding fields and in order of performance.

Wayne accidentally heard Lina's casual complaints, and then he noticed something, "What's going on? The 'rank' may also drop?"

Lina nodded as a matter of course. Inissa recalled briefly and then explained:

“It seems that we haven’t mentioned this detail in the internal courses of the detective agency. I will let Connor make up for it later.

"Level demotion is actually not easy to happen. The problems that most Beyonders need to be wary of are actually 'loss of control' and 'madness'. Only a few Beyonders who can still maintain their sanity after 'losing stability' will simply be level demotion.

"If we use Lina's favorite metaphor, comparing extraordinary power to 'money', then demotion is like some people who, after encountering serious financial problems, are still able to temporarily stabilize part of their capital turnover and avoid complete bankruptcy. But if the instability continues, then it is often only a matter of time before they eventually go bankrupt or other problems arise in advance.

"It's the same in reverse. Some Beyonders of the same rank are like having all the 'cash' on them, while others have used all of it for 'investment'. So the strength of their abilities displayed in battle will be different. However, strength does not necessarily mean a combat advantage. Some abilities that are not very offensive can also be very difficult to deal with. All we can say is that each has its own advantages and disadvantages."

Wayne pondered for a while before realizing that the hasty explanation Lina gave him was actually quite valuable.

She is worthy of being the "daughter" selected by the "wise sage"... So her current "card upgrade" is actually equivalent to the small factory being run at full capacity, and no matter how many orders there are, it cannot be digested for the time being. What is needed to upgrade is to continue to expand channels, or upgrade equipment?
Unfortunately, the Hunter Association's theories are all based on the results, and they belong to the school of practical empiricism. Lina is the type who can swim but can't teach. The situation of each Beyonder is like a "black box", which can be roughly classified and imitated, but the details are all weird.
As for Wayne's problem, it can only be said that "there is a solution direction" but "no specific solution". After absorbing the extraordinary materials, the blue bar is still in the "full" state. Fortunately, there is no sign of "explosion".

The agents who received the spoils also divided into groups to supervise and observe each other, and under the supervision of their partners, they absorbed the extraordinary materials one by one in batches.

Compared to some agents, such as Willy, who held their stomachs and frowned after leaving the room, as if they were "swallowing it raw", Liam's own absorption method seemed to be more scientific. He actually ground the substance and applied it to his skin.

Although it seems that this is not easy to "overdose", but after applying it, why does it look like a slime or a little green man...

After such a busy period, the agents who seemed to be in a state of stabilization took a break and prepared for the event. It was almost noon.

The partners didn't really keep watching, but just stayed in the two adjacent rooms to observe what was going on, and then went about their own business.

At this moment, Wayne was studying the painting in the room, wondering if it was necessary to hang it up now.

After all, this is a gift from the bishop of a state. Even if there are people in the local spy organization who want to retaliate against the detective agency, they will probably consider the issue of "not looking at the monk's face, but the Buddha's face" after seeing it, right?
Inissa was leaning against the window and looking out, looking like someone who wouldn't be easily attacked:

"Lina said she passed several temporary checkpoints on her way back. Today, the number of carriages speeding on the road seems to be more than double that of usual. Has the cathedral got any new clues and is it trying its best to identify the real mastermind?"

Wayne stared at the painting and nodded. "It's very likely. Judging from the looks of Reverend Tyrell and the Beaton family, they will try to take a bite out of the local spy organization no matter what."

But this has nothing to do with the small detective agency. First, we need to set up "Shop No. 1". Then, when the dust settles over at the cathedral, the people from the two offices can set off.

After a period of stability of half a year or a year, we will continue to recruit staff and investors. Maybe there will be more offices, and we will also try to open subsequent fast food restaurants there.

In this way, you can earn money while attending classes, which is comfortable.

At this time, a burst of footsteps came up the stairs quickly. Wayne and Inessa looked in the direction of the sound and Doug soon appeared at the door.

After he stood still and took a breath, he handed some newspapers to Wayne, "Sir, something happened."

Wayne took a look at it, his pupils shrank, and then he couldn't help but take another look at the oil painting placed on the wall.
"The bishop is being rescued, the situation is not optimistic"? !

I just confirmed my big backer not even two days ago, and it’s going to collapse so soon?
Inessa also pointed out the window at this time, "Someone is coming. Four carriages, and it looks like there are fighters."
